Sunday Night Football Picks: New England Patriots vs Baltimore Ravens
by Mike Allen - 12/18/2025

The NFL is getting good! I’m more excited for the next week or so of football than my auntie’s ham. Just don’t tell her that. She’s still a “Redskins” fan anyway, so she shouldn’t be reading this one. Happy Holidays to everyone. I’m pumped for several of the Christmas week matchups, but one that’s flying under the radar is a potential AFC Playoff prequel between the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens.

Sunday Night Football Picks: Minnesota Vikings vs Dallas Cowboys
by Mike Allen - 12/11/2025

Sometimes you look at a game, and the betting odds just seem too obvious. You ask yourself, “Am I the only one who sees this line is way off?” Those games can be some of the scariest to pick. I felt that way last week about the Denver Broncos vs Las Vegas Raiders game when I added it to my basic strategy teaser. Why would the sportsbooks throw the (-7.5) in there?

Sunday Night Football Picks: Houston Texans vs Kansas City Chiefs
by Mike Allen - 12/4/2025

This Sunday night, in what will undoubtedly be a frenzied Arrowhead Stadium, the defending AFC Champion Kansas City Chiefs host the red-hot Houston Texans. It wasn't that long ago, maybe a month, when highly respected handicappers and journalists had the Chiefs in their top 3 of their power rankings.

Sunday Night Football Picks: Denver Broncos vs Washington Commanders
by Mike Allen - 11/27/2025

The Washington Commanders are finally back after their long-awaited and much-needed week off from their duty as whipping boy for NFL teams. Dan Quinn's crew hasn't been right all season. And after the loss of second-year starting quarterback Jayden Daniels, 2025 has turned into a disaster for everyone involved.

Sunday Night Football Picks: Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Los Angeles Rams
by Mike Allen - 11/20/2025

This Sunday's NFL action, unlike last week, has only a couple of high-profile games on the docket. The matchup on Sunday Night Football, though, between Baker Mayfield and Matt Stafford is undoubtedly one of them and always must-see TV. It's unfortunate we don't get to see the Indianapolis Colts and the Kansas City Chiefs in primetime. Mayfield vs Stafford is even better.

Sunday Night Football Picks: Detroit Lions vs Philadelphia Eagles
by Mike Allen - 11/13/2025

Sunday Night Football will be a treat for football fans this week! In the matchup we all deserved to see last year and never did, the Detroit Lions travel to the City of Brotherly Shove to challenge the defending Super Bowl Champion Eagles. The Lions come into this one off a pretty easy win in Washington 44-22 over the "All of a sudden sad excuse for a football team" Commanders.

Sunday Night Football Picks: Pittsburgh Steelers vs Los Angeles Chargers
by Mike Allen - 11/5/2025

If the NFL Playoffs kicked off this week, both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Los Angeles Chargers would make it. As you know, the Steelers sit atop the AFC North, but for how long? You've probably heard how the Ravens are favored to win the division, even though they're currently two games behind first-place Pittsburgh, whose postseason odds are now down to (-120).

Sunday Night Football Picks: Seattle Seahawks vs Washington Commanders
by Mike Allen - 10/30/2025

There is good news for the Washington Commanders ahead of their meeting with the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Night Football. For one, they will get starting quarterback Jayden Daniels back under center. Another plus is that they don’t have to travel across the country to play the Seahawks on a short week.

Sunday Night Football Picks: Green Bay Packers vs Pittsburgh Steelers
by Mike Allen - 10/23/2025

Unfortunately, the game isn't in Green Bay, but Pittsburgh Steelers future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers has a chance by the end of Sunday night to say that he's played and defeated every last NFL team. Not surprisingly, his former squad, the Green Bay Packers, is the only organization that has yet to fall to Rodgers. Well, I know he blew at least a couple of games over the course of his time as a Packer, but I digress.

Sunday Night Football Picks: Atlanta Falcons vs San Francisco 49ers
by Mike Allen - 10/16/2025

Michael Penix Jr. and the Atlanta Falcons soar north of 2,100 miles to San Francisco to take on the 49ers on Sunday Night Football. This is a fun NFC matchup that we might be looking back at in a few months as a tiebreaker for two potential playoff wild card teams.

Sunday Night Football Picks: Detroit Lions vs Kansas City Chiefs
by Mike Allen - 10/9/2025

For the first time in 11 years, we are in Week 6 of the NFL regular season, and zero unbeaten teams remain in the league. After Week 1's drubbing by the rival Green Bay Packers, everybody seemed to think that the Detroit Lions were suffering from losing not one but both of their coordinators to head coaching jobs.

Sunday Night Football Picks: New England Patriots vs Buffalo Bills
by Mike Allen - 10/2/2025

Can you believe it's already Week 5 in the NFL? This first month always seems to go by the fastest. For New England Patriots fans, September wasn't the worst showing. Their former player and new head coach, Mike Vrabel, has the team off to a 2-2 start to the season. They even have a positive point differential of 102-81, albeit against sub-par competition like the Panthers, Raiders, and Dolphins.

Sunday Night Football Picks: Green Bay Packers vs Dallas Cowboys
by Mike Allen - 9/24/2025

NFL fans didn't have to wonder for very long about how game-changer Micah Parsons would fit into his Packers jersey. It hasn't even been a month since then, and he's making his return to Dallas. Whether it's a triumphant return is still to be determined, but I would imagine the Packers' locker room is not happy after blowing a blowout in the 4th quarter to Joe Flacco and the Cleveland Browns.

Sunday Night Football Picks: Kansas City Chiefs at New York Giants
by Mike Allen - 9/18/2025

I bet you didn’t think we would have two winless teams facing off in this Week 3 Sunday Night Football matchup. Most of us saw it coming with the New York Giants. They were expected to be one of the worst teams in the NFL. The Kansas City Chiefs, though, are the defending AFC Champions.

Sunday Night Football Picks: Atlanta Falcons at Minnesota Vikings
by Mike Allen - 9/11/2025

I hope everyone survived a wild Week 1. I had the Atlanta Falcons (+2.5) at home on Sunday. It looked like we were gonna at least make it to overtime, but no. Younghoe Koo came up to the plate in the bottom of the ninth with a chance to tie the Bucs. It was only a 44-yarder, and the ball sailed wide to the right.

Sunday Night Football Picks: Buffalo Bills at Baltimore Ravens Predictions
by Mike Allen - 9/4/2025

In a rematch of last season's Divisional Playoff, the Baltimore Ravens head north to "balmy" Buffalo, New York, to battle the Bills in yet another high-level Week 1 matchup in the NFL. How can you not love both of these teams, especially their quarterbacks? The Buffalo Bills' Josh Allen won the NFL MVP trophy last season, and the Ravens' Lamar Jackson already has two under his cape.

Sunday Night Football Picks: Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions
by Mike Allen - 12/31/2024

One game for the #1 seed this Sunday night! We have so much in front of us with New Year's Eve, the college football playoff, and NFL action on Saturday and Sunday, but I can't help but get ahead of myself. The Minnesota Vikings haven't lost a game since Week 7 when Jake Bates of the Detroit Lions kicked the go-ahead, game-winning 44-yard field goal with just 15 seconds remaining.

Sunday Night Football Picks: Atlanta Falcons at Washington Commanders
by Mike Allen - 12/24/2024

The Atlanta Falcons are a new team, and I don't expect them to be much of a threat if they win the NFC West and make the postseason. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are heavy betting favorites (-410) to beat the Panthers on Sunday afternoon. However, if Dave Canales continues to have Baker Mayfield's number and Bryce Young pulls off some magic, the Falcons would have the chance to clinch the division on Sunday night.

Sunday Night Football Picks: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Dallas Cowboys
by Mike Allen - 12/18/2024

Do we have a shootout on the horizon in Big D this Sunday night? Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush had his best game of the season by a Texas mile in Sunday’s spanking of the Carolina Panthers. Hold your horses, Cowboys fans.

Sunday Night Football Picks: Green Bay Packers at Seattle Seahawks
by Mike Allen - 12/11/2024

The league timed this one up perfectly. The Sunday Night Football matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks couldn't come at a better time for fans. Neither team is overly excited to play the other. Traveling to the Pacific Northwest to play a first-place team that's won four in a row. If you're the Seattle Seahawks, you watched the Packers vs Lions Thursday night game, and you understand it was a hard-fought battle that the Pack could have easily won.
